To the Board of Trustees
of the State UniVersity.
Gentlemen:»
I beg to submit for your consideration the following
report of the condition and work of the State University for the
academic year which closes on the 5rd inst. The reports of heads

of departments are IHTGWith filed and made a part of this report.

1 The s.ssion Opened auspiciouslv Thursday, September 16,
1908, with a good matriculation. The numbers entered during the
year in the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes do not
difter materially from the aggregate reported for the year 1907—8,
in the preceding report. The action of the last.General Assembly
by which the Normal Department as heretofore existing was eliminated
has materia reduce” the ﬁst of students as compared with that
of the 7, . g. ' The shortage will amount to nag less than

i A considerable number of those who would other—
wise have entered the Normal Department entered the Academy, there»
by causing a considerable increase in its numbers over those of
the preceding year, the dirfe rence amounting to ‘73 or 0; per—
cent. The unrest in Central and Western Kentucky which has unhappi~

1y introduced into many counties in the Conmmnwealth regrettable
animosities which will not be extinguished for years, interfered to
some extent with the attendance upon the University. Heavy pe—
cuniary losses rerulting from the disturbed condition of affairs
prevented same, perhaps many, frOm sending their sons and daughters
hither. Wehther we have reache d the end of these disturbances
remains to be seen. It is to be hoDed for the sake of the peaceful
development and the good name of the Commonwealth, that they are

now matters of histor and will not be repeated.

The subsidiary reports of deans of courses of study and

heads of departments hhow that the wont done is quite equal to the

average. Increased facilities for instruction and additions made

—2~
by way of assistants to the instructional staff ought to yield
00mmensurete results. The departnents of Chemistry, of Physics and
of Mathematics have been materially strengthened by additions to
the te aching force. This enables us to reduce materially the
numbe rs heretofore taught in Classes that were too large, to make

them less unwieldy and consequently to bring individual instruction

more frequently to each.nemhers of the class. The mudi needed

$102k“
provision made for PhysiceendAOivil Engineering by the erection

of the large and commodious building now nearing completion will
relieVe the conge stion of these departments, which had heretofore
he~n badly housed and uneconomiealﬁy provide d with the material
appliances which make instruction effective. We anticipate ggod
results from these advances and hope to, be able to report suhstan~
tial progress along these lines in the future. The facilities

for a growing institution like this are never quite equal to its
requireme nts. We find ourselves now, notwithstanding the build—

ings recently erected, sorely in need of additional facilities by

way of space and equipment for the departments of Mechanical Engi~

ne ering, Mining Engineering, and Chemistry.\\A part of the fund

provided by the Legislature for additional buildings has heed e3-
plied to the relief of the Mechanical Engineering by a suhstantial
addition, and we are upon the eve of making contracts for the"
buildingtwhich will relieve the necessities of the Department of
Chemistry and of Mining Engineering. These, it is heped, may be
so rapidly pushed forward that their occupation in the early au—
tumn will be possible.

ﬁaseing from the material conditions set forth in the
preceding paragraph, I may refer in passing to the inconvenience
caused by the untimely removal by death of Prof. Milford White,
who was called from us in the maturity of his powers, and his use—
fulness, and Prof. John H. Neville, who passed away in September,

full of years and of honors. These have been already adverted to

in previOAs reports to this Board, but it ie a matter of regret

The general behaviour of the students has been commenda—

which are manifest in the low grades made'Mf many of the male
students, as well as in the no ntenanc es of the unfortunate youth
who allow themselves to become the prey of intemperete and licen—
tious habits. The allurements presented by many of the saloons in
the town, in the way of free lunch, tempt many a youth from the

hahite QI sobriety and restraint which he brought with him. The

lax discipline which has obtained in the dormitory and the frequent
aheen‘3e frmn illitero resulting théfblPCN when etudenti ought to

to eioouiabe theee h;>its lntemheranoe, unfortunately, ie not

The eame ie true of mining enterpriee. Succee. in min—
ing in achieved nowadays hy the organization of companies with
eufficient capital to carry on the pronoeed mining Operations,
secondly, by a judicious expenciture in Opening and operating the
mine, thirdly, by economic transportation in order to reach the
mos. available market. These conditions under a well organized
school of mining engine ering can be largely eunnlied in the in—
struction given to mining enginnere and mine operators, while the
economic management of corporation funde can be supplied by the
inetructione of the claeearoom in economics and sociology. It may

productive activity are in the main theoretical. This ie 90, but

What is true of agriculture and mining is equally true of
manufacturing and commercial enterprise. The theoretical knowledge
acquired in schools of commerce and in schools for scientific in»
otruction as given in relation to the multifarious processes of manu:
facture, provide a good foundation upon which experience and prac—'
tice may build. All over the Commonwealth, wholesome indications
of a new departure from the old rule of thumb processes which had
obtained for ages and which sufficed for our fathers and grand»
fathers, are manifest. The fierce competition found everywhere

with rigorous exactness to the survival of the fittest.
intelligently and economically conducted succeed.

the wall. In all these it is manifest that an insti—

termining pecuniary results out of all proportion to the suns ex—
pended upon its maintenance. it is to he hoped that within the
next twenty-five years, the Commonwealth of Kentucky will be fully
abreast of other allied commonwealths in the Union and that its
record for intelligence and industrial enterprise in all tie fields

ll place it upon a level with the best. The rich

of production wi
heritage and abundant wealth which it possesses, with the prepotent
energy of the Anglo—Saxon stock from which the bulk of our ronula—
tion is descended and which when fully awakened to its opportuni~
ties and possibilities must achieve stupendous results, warrant the
anticipation of an era of progress such as our fathers could not

have anticipated.

To you, gentlemen, has been confided the administration of

a trust whose importance for the present and for the future we
can scarcely overestimate. You are laying the foundations upon
which must be builded the propperity of future years ani of future
generations. A deep sense of responsibility, therefore, ought to
attach to your management and contnl,of the institution whose
destinies have heen confided to your care. Men pass away, genera—

tions fade into the distant past, but institutions and the ideals

adaptation adjustable to ever varying and ever changing conditions.
But through all these variations and through all these changes,
its identity remains the same. May this be true of the State Uni«
versity of Kentucky and may your name and your influence he indis—
solubly associated with it ages after you have gone to your best
and your reward.

I have the honor to be, with much respect,

The Committee appointed on the Experiment Station submit
the following report:
We have not had time to go over in detail all of the de—

partments of the Station, but we find it is growing rapidly and the

work is increasing at a rapid rate. the Director reports that the
Station Building is already crowded and it will be necessary to add
additional accomodations, especially for a food laboratory, soon.

After January first of this year, new duties devolved upon
the Director, as the drug portion of the food law went into effect at
that time. This nearly doubles the work in the Food Department. The
Board of Control of the Experiment Station, under the law, has direct
supervision of the finances. The manner of execution of the food law
is reflecting credit to the Station and University, and it has been
the policy of the Director, as well as of the Board of Control, to
carry on this work in the most efficient manner and to obtain the
best men possible fer the various positions in the food work.

The research work of the Station has been materially in—
creased and we find that young men graduates of our university are
being used at the Station and are receiving training which fits them
far the highest positions in their respective lines. The Station in
this way is doing commendable post—graduate work.

The following recommendations are approved and we now ask
their adeption:

That the appropriations from the Hatch and Adams Acts, the
incomes from the Fertilizer, Food and Feed Control WOrk, and Farm,
and any interest accruing from these accounts, be appropriated by the

Board for the use of the Station.

We approve the recommendation of the Director as to paying
the heads of the departments $200.00‘per month on a basis of twelve
months, and to this end we recommend that the heads of the depart—
ments receive a maximum salary of $200.00 per month or $2400.00 per
year, and that the head assistants receive a maximum salary, in case
of exceptional merit, of $1800.00 per year.

As will be seen by the schedule below, we have given to
Professors Peter Curtis and German the maximum salary, as they have
been with the station almost since its beginning; the other heads of
departments we have put at $2000.00, with the understanding that
they are to be increased $100.00 per year until the maximum is reach—
ed, and in case of those who have already reached the maximum of
$2000.00, the increase of $100.00 follows.

In accdrdance with the above recommendation, the salaries
of the heads of the departments and assistants of the Station are

fixed, beginning July 1, 1909, as per the following schedule:

the fences of the Experiment Station farm; the posts to be of

straight split locusts, set three (3) feet in the ground. The

fence shall run the entire length of the University farm along
the Hicholasville Pike, which is being used and Operated by
the Experiment Station, except in front of the residence where
a ;tone wall laid in cemant is to be built by the second party
in place of the fence. The top of this stone wall is to come
